Black Panther was a favorite character of mine when I first started reading them as a kid in the late 70's. I was super stoked to see him finally in the MCU and the first movie was fantastic.
I loved Boseman as he really nailed the character, but I really wish they had just given it some time and then recast. It's such an iconic character, and even though it would have been a big ask to live up to Boseman's version, it would have still represented a fantastic role for other actors to step into. It's not like we haven't had multiple actors play Bond, so why not Black Panther?
At any rate, I've been really disappointed with comic book movies of late. They all seem to be about lot of CGI, explosions, and not much in the way of great storytelling to back it up. I'm a huge comic fan, but even I don't see anything that looks interesting - let alone worth me forking out to see in the theatres.
